everything listed. Inspect the container and equipment for signs of damage as soon as
you receive the shipment. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately
report any damage to the shipping agent. The carrier will not honor damage claims
unless all shipping material is saved for inspection. After examining and removing the
contents, save the packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.
Customer Service: If you need assistance, please contact the Customer Service
Department nearest you.
Manuals, Software: The latest Operation Manual as well as free software and iServer
Mail Notifier are available at the website listed on the cover page of this manual or
on the CD-ROM enclosed with your shipment.
1.3 Description
View Temperature + Humidity with a Web Browser. The iServer let’s you monitor and
record Temperature and Relative Humidity over an Ethernet network or the Internet with
no special software except a Web browser. The iServer serves Active Web Pages to
display real time readings and display charts of temperature and humidity, or log data in
standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as
Excel or Visual Basic.
Adjustable Charts. The Java™ Applet chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For
example, the chart can display one day, one week, one month or one year. Temperature
and humidity can be charted across the full span (0-70ºC, and 0-100% RH) or within any
narrow range (such as 20-30ºC).
2
Award-winning Technology. The iServer is simple to install and use, and features
award winning iServer technology that requires no special software except a Web
browser. The iServer connects to an Ethernet Network with a standard RJ45 connector
and sends data in standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily configured with a simple menu
using a Web browser and can be password protected. From within an Ethernet LAN or over
the Internet, the user simply types its IP address or an easy to remember name such as
"Cleanroom 5" or "Midwest Server Room" in any Web Browser, and the iServer serves a
Web Page with the current readings. The iServer comes complete with one
temperature/humidity wand probe, full documentation and software.
Alarms and Email. If temperature or humidity exceeded a set limit, the iServer can
trigger an alarm that could be sent by email to an Internet enabled pager or cell phone.
A standard web browser can be used to monitor temperature and humidity, and chart
temperature and humidity. The browser can also be used to configure the device’s IP
address, passwords for access control, and Terminal Server/Remote Access parameters
for tunneling. An iLD Big Display can display temperature and humidity received from an
iServer over the Ethernet or the Internet.
The following example illustrates how you can hookup an iServer and iLD to your
network:

2.5 Network Communication Interfaces
2.5.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout
The 10BASE-T Ethernet network
(RJ-45) system is used in the iServer
for network connectivity. The 10 Mbps
twisted-pair Ethernet system operates
over two pairs of wires. One pair is
used for receiving data signals and the
other pair is used for transmitting data
signals. This means that four pins of
the eight-pin connector are used.
2.5.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring
When connecting the iServer directly to the computer’s
network port, the transmit data pins of the computer
should be wired to the receive data pins of the iServer,
and vice versa. The 10Base-T crossover cable with pin
connection assignments are shown below.
Use straight through cable for connecting the
iServer to an Ethernet hub. The ports on the
hub are already crossed.
2.6 Relay Wiring Connections
To access the Relay Connector you must remove
the cover, refer to Section 2.4.
2.7 Running on Battery Power
Battery and S5 jumper installed: if there is a power
outage the iServer board will be fully functional
including the LCD backlight “ON” for approximately
1 hour. You need to make sure that the LCD/PWR
field on the Configuration page of the iServer is set
to UPS (see Section 4.3.5.F)
Battery installed and S5 jumper in storage position (Factory Default): if there is a power
outage the LCD Backlight and iServer Ethernet board will not run, but
the unit will be
collecting and storing data for approximately 10 days.
When you first connect the battery, without the AC power adaptor, the unit will be in
“Sleep Mode”, in order to save power, and the LCD will display “Flash Standby”
(provided that S5 jumper is not installed). When battery is installed, plug the AC adaptor
into unit and push the Flash Reset Button (refer to Figure 2.3 or Figure 2.4). Unit is now
ready to be configured for recording the data. Also, if the AC adaptor is unplugged after
configuring the unit, it will be ready for recording data.
If you want to move the unit to a different location, remove AC adaptor and press the
Flash Reset button. Repeat the steps in the above paragraph.

PART 3
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
3.1 Network Protocols
The iServer can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols.
It also supports ARP, HTTP (WEB server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols.
3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address
MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number.
When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates
your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address. The MAC address can be
found on a label attached to your device and contains 6 bytes (12 characters) of
hexadecimal numbers XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX hex
For example: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B
There is room on the label to put your IP address. See Figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1 Labeling
9
3.3 DHCP
DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to
extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on
your iServer, as soon as the iServer is connected to the network, there is an exchange of
information between DHCP server and the iServer. During this process the IP address,
the Gateway address, and the Subnet Mask will be assigned to the iServer by the DHCP
server. Note that the DHCP server must be configured correctly to do such assignment.
If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP must be disabled. The iServer is
shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default). The DHCP can be enabled by setting the
DIP switch # 3 to the “ON” position (refer to Figure 3.2).
Figure 3.2 DIP Switch on the Bottom Side of iServer
3.4 DNS
DNS, Domain Name System enables individual computers and devices to be recognized
over a network based on a specific name instead of an IP address. For example, instead
of having to use http://128.100.101.254 (IP address), you would use only http://eis03ec
or any eight character name stored as Host Name under Access Control menu in the
iServer Home Page. The default DNS name for an iServer is "eis" followed by the last
four digits of the MAC address of that particular iServer.
1. It is very important to communicate with the network administrator in order to
understand the DHCP and its existing configurations on the host server,
before enabling the DHCP on the iServer.
2. The iServers are shipped with a default static IP address of
128.100.101.254 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0.
3. On Novell networks or Windows 2000 Server where the DCHP is an updated
function of DNS, this feature may be beneficial since a particular name can
be assigned eliminating the need for the IP address, as described in
Section 3.4.

3.5 IP Address
Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address.
This IP address is used to build a connection to the iServer. Every computer using
TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address. It is divided into two portions, the network
ID and the host ID. For instance, every computer on the same network uses the same
network ID. At the same time, all of them have a different host ID. For more details about
the IP address see Appendix B.
3.5.1 Default IP Address
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address set to 128.100.101.254 and Subnet
Mask of 255.255.0.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access
the iServer using its default IP address, make sure that the PC from which you’re
establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the same range as the iServer’s
IP address (128.100.x.x, where x can be any number from 1 to 254. Note that your PC’s
IP address cannot be the same as the iServer’s IP address). You also need to make
sure that your PC’s Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0. This is a good way to access the
iServer over the network and make any configuration changes needed. If the factory
default address is already in use on your network, use an Ethernet crossover cable
between your computer and the iServer and modify the IP address or any other settings
within the iServer.
3.6 Port Number
All TCP connections are defined by the IP address and a port number. A port number is
an internal address that provides an interface between an application running on your
computer and the network through the TCP/IP protocol.
There are three default TCP socket port numbers assigned to the iServer:
1. Port (socket) number 1000 when using HTTPGET program.
2. Port (socket) number 2000 when trying to access the sensor (probe) connected to
the port of the iServer to receive ASCII data.
3. Port (socket) number 2002 when trying to access the iServer itself for Power
Recycling the iServer remotely. This can be done using Windows standard Telnet
application.
Telnet stands for Telecommunications Network, is a protocol that provides a way for
users (or clients) to connect to computers (or servers) on a network, whether in the next
building or across the world.
Example: C:\>Telnet 128.100.101.254 2002
You will then get the following screen.
Figure 3.3 Telnet Login into the iServer
You can also open a Telnet session using Tera Term Pro (this can be downloaded from
http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10062-100-890547.html

PART 4
OPERATIONS
This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s
preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape
or Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using NEWPORT’s iCONNECT
Configuration Software.
If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, you do not need to
worry about IP address, MAC address, or network conflicts, all of these issues are solved
for you by your network DHCP and DNS server. All that is left for you to do, is to use a
straight network cable to connect the iServer to a hub and power it up.
Instead of connecting the iServer directly to your network, you can configure your
PC’s network connection with an IP address (128.100.x.x) that is in the same range
as the iServer’s default IP address (128.100.101.254) and connect to the iServer
using a cross-over network cable between your PC’s network port and the iServer.
Go to your computer that is connected to the same network and from the MS-DOS Prompt
window type "ping 128.100.101.254” and press Enter. If DHCP and DNS servers are
used type “ping eisxxx”, where xxxx are the last four digits of the iServer’s MAC address,
located on the back of the device. You should get a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.
4.0 Testing the Connection
Figure 4.1 Pinging eis03ec MS-DOS Prompt
This proves that the connection is proper and you can get into configuration or run mode
using the Telnet or Web browser.
